Description: “A child’s work,†wrote Maria Montessori, “is to create the man he will become. An adult works to perfect his environment, but a child works to perfect himself.†So Dr. Montessori developed an education that would aid the child in his work. The Montessori Method is based on the child’s tendencies to explore, be independent and make decisions, develop self-control, abstract ideas from experience, be creative and imaginative, repeat for internalization, concentrate, and perfect and master concepts and ideas. Montessori classes are organized into groups representing a three-year age span. Within each group there is constant interaction, problem solving, child-to-child teaching, and socialization. The environment is arranged according to subject area, and children are free to move around the room, and to work on a piece of material as long as needed. It is the role of the teacher to prepare and adapt the environment. The teacher links the child to the environment with well-planned lessons. Children learn directly from the environment, other children, and from the teacher. The teacher works with children one-on-one, in small groups, and less frequently, in large group settings. All subjects are interwoven. At any given time all subjects—math, language, science, history, geography, art, music, etc.—are being studied, at all levels. Children are exposed to amazing amounts of knowledge.
